Bad Media - Backupexec 8.5

I have been having problems with Backupexec 8.5 reporting my media as bad.
So I have decided to replace the media and perform a no poll erase, as
discussed within the Veritas knowledgebase. When I perform an inventory on
the new tapes, some are labelled as Blank media as you would expect and
others bad media. Has anyone got any idea what is going on. Many thanks.

Do an ERASE - QUICK . this should create label on medias.

I got a similar problem. Mine doesn't say "bad" but it says "unrecognized
media". I'm not sure if this is related to your problem but take a look at
this:
